Okay, our original plan was for me to XO the Admiral to take the Presidency and then for us to try to brig Baltar. But the Pradmiralissimo has the Presidency covered. And I can't repair fuel. So now is the best move the brig attempt since I'm here? It would not be using an XO, so we'd lose the extra move.
I'd suggest we still wait for my turn to brig El Weasel. My draw is 100% positive for a briggening. Especially if you can Consolidate Power with your first action too, I'd recommend you wait for an XO from me.
There's no harm in getting Helo started on the Centurions immediately; with his reroll, though, his turn is the best time to try that on. Other options:
XO Helo to scout Crisis and/or Destination
XO me to fish for an IC into brigging Baltar and/or scout Crisis
Ooh! Wait up a moment! I've been checking out the perks of my Presidentismitude, and there's a nice surprise or two in here. Chief, I'd suggest you go ahead and XO me as per the original plan; you won't regret it.
BSG
Okie doke. I'm going to go ahead since it's pretty clear where we're at at this point.
I do not move.

With his first action, "Pradmiralissimojo" has played
Assign Arbitrator
on the Chief. In addition to letting him draw 2 Politics, this means that, when a player activates the Admiral's Quarters, Chief may discard this card to increase or reduce the difficulty by 3.

I have some thoughts on how you might like to use that card, Chief, if you're interested.
BSG
For his second action, the Prad... has decided to try to scout the Crisis Deck. This involves a die roll, so please post about interrupts regarding SPs.
BSG
Pass on interrupts
Helo, we've only two raptors left, so an SP wouldn't be out of place; but it's not necessary, especially if it's a valuable card. It'll count positive for the briggening after all.
BSG
Ah. Very good, Pradmiralissimojolator, sir.
And of course, I don't have any interrupts with which to interrupt.
BSG
Okay, I actually have COs from everyone else. And the roll is...
a 3!
Just made it.

You know, DNA analysis has led to a theory that the closest land-based relatives of the whales are hippos. They call it the Whippo Hypothesis.
By which I mean to say,
bury it.
